COVID SAFETY
The safety and health of our communities is incredibly important. We know that returning to holding live events in person carries risks especially for elders, and that everyone's ability to get out and about is different. We have a COVID Safe Plan that will be in place for all of our events. All our staff are vaccinated and we encourage all attendees to be vaccinated and wear masks where distancing isn’t possible. We will have masks and sanitiser freely available at all Dance Clubs and there is plenty of space and ventilation.

If you have any questions about our COVID Safe Plan or would like to chat about how we can enable your attendance at our events, please email HERE.
